I use the kit lens (18-55mm) that came with it that I use most of the time, a 50mm lens for people shots, and a 55-250 zoom lens. I think it's pretty easy to pick up on the basics, and depending how much you want to learn there all kinds of tutorials and blogs on the interwebs. I am a super nerd and also bought the huge manual for my camera, which is helpful for me but not necessary. Good luck and happy camera shopping if you decide to splurge! :)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13942184140824055969noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808329342973883194.post-66099323369674483852013-05-26T10:24:31.681-04:002013-05-26T10:24:31.681-04:00I use a Canon T2i (the model before the T3) for my...I use a Canon T2i (the model before the T3) for my food/craft/home photos and I love it. I use a 17-55mm wide angle lens. For outfit photos, you'd have to use a tripod and a remote and play around with setting your pictures up in a place where the light is nice and consistent.<br /><br />I don't know too much "technical" stuff about photography. I tend to shoot on a whim whereas Michael always shoots on manual mode. He has a Canon as well. But I can recommend researching lenses. They make a big difference. Think of the camera body as a boat and the lens as the captain. You can also rent lenses at some camera stores.Lindahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08836371074598887840noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808329342973883194.post-61149624028005167922013-05-19T09:05:38.095-04:002013-05-19T09:05:38.095-04:00I think that your outfit looks good.

I used to have a DSLR, a Nikon. Cannot remember what type, but it was expensive enough. My husband traded it in for a Samsung NX11 and I use a 18-55 lens. Problem with the camera is that it had no remote control, just one with a wire attached to the camera (80 cm!!). But the shop owner found a standard one which is now fitted on top of the camera. It works fine. Only... I cannot use the flash of the camera as the remote unit is fitted on top of the flash hahaha. Like you I don't really like flash that much so I don't mind. <br />As I always have the camera on a tripod I cannot use it for more depth or for setting the camera first. After all, if I want to set it, I have to dress a mannequin first, set the camera, hold it and then put the clothes of the mannequin on and take the picture. Don't think so. This is because it matters whether you are wearing a white dress, or shirt or black. And outdoors what kind of light there is. I wish I could get my pictures as sharp as you have them. So much to learn.No Fear of Fashionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10999161414598296313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6808329342973883194.post-35179809749748228152013-05-18T22:35:36.967-04:002013-05-18T22:35:36.967-04:00Unfortunately i cannot give you any camera or phot...Unfortunately i cannot give you any camera or photograph advise as until last year i took my pics with a 3 year old Nokia phone.
